digging holes in the ground. The au-
thorities fear the Indians may s,am-
pede. aud the representation OF the

General Ruger has instructed the au-
thurities at the Cheyenne agency To or
yanize u company of Cheyenne Indians
TO hunt the Crows If they take Ia the
mountains. Seven companies of SOL
diers from Fort Custer arrived at noon.
making total of fifteen companies now
there. Indian chiefs held u council but
its result il not known. The Indian
police are drilled daily and may them
selves attempt the arrest OF the horse
thieves.
A dispatch from the Crow agency
dated last Sunday states that the Indian
affairs have come TO head. resulting in
thc complete routing of the Indian
forces. The Indians had refused to de-
liver up the seventeen who had fired on
the agency buildings, and gathered in a
war party. Some rcdliot skirmishing
then resulted. in which two of the
troopers and four Indians were killed.
All the refractory Indians were cap
turcd and no more trouble is feared.

AN NFoRMANT's TESTIMONY.
William Seliger, at whose house Lingg
lodged and manufactured his dynamite
bombs, testified that the afternoon OF May 4
some forty or fifty bombs were made by
Lingg, himself and five or six others. The
witness explained that for tubular bombs
Lingg used sections Of metal pipe, and for
spherical bombs he cast leaden shells In a
cup-shaped mould. melting the lead on the
kitchen stove. Small iron bolts and nuts
were Embedded in the dynamite with which
the shells we-o stuffed, and each shell was
sealed with a.fulminating cap and fuse at
tachment. Each bomb was powerful enough
to destroy about 100 men il thrown into a
crowd. Seiiger also testified to the distribu-
ton of the bombs, and how Lingg was eager
to throw a bomb at the Larrabee street

the scene. of the explosion. Lingg

To avoid any further enlargement On

The highest praise which can be given to
